Excerpt from The Spectator; Selected Essays: With an Introd, and Notes
It has been the aim of the Editor of this Volume to select from the papers of the Spectator all such as may be considered the more representative of its Essays. To this plan of selection the Spectator peculiarly lends itself. Each of its articles is complete and self-contained, yet throughout the whole of the series there is, though a diversity of matter, a continuity of interest. The Editor has therefore divided his subject into two special groups; the sketches which relate to the character of individuals, and those essays which touch upon the current topics of the hour. In the first category will be found the papers dealing with the position and prejudices of the members of the famous Club; whilst in the second part a selection is made from those various miscellaneous essays which were read with such delight by the public to whom they were more particularly addressed. Where there has been so much to choose from, and the difficulty of rejection is encountered at every step, the Editor has had to be guided by very plain and well defined rules. He has endeavoured to reproduce every paper which made the "Spectator" what it then was - the centre and force of contemporary opinion.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a curated collection of essays from the highly influential literary magazine "The Spectator". The periodical was founded during a time when political and social discussion often took place in coffee houses due to a lack of newspapers and accessible forms of media. The Spectator provided readers with a mix of news, intellectual discussion, and humorous commentary. This collection focuses on the essays that were most representative of the magazine's mission to reflect the social and political ideas of the time. The author has grouped essays into two categories: those that focus on character sketches, and others that touch on current topics. The character sketches provide insight into the wide range of people who made up English society during the reign of Queen Anne, including famous public figures as well as everyday individuals. The essays on current topics show the magazine's willingness to tackle political and social issues of the day, offering a valuable glimpse into the concerns and preoccupations of early 18th-century England. Together, the essays in this book offer a fascinating and entertaining record of a pivotal time in British history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330361665_0
